Checking your Jamabandi in Haryana is now a job of a few minutes, not a trip to the tehsil office. On the official portal jamabandi.nic.in, you can search for a Jamabandi Nakal by owner name, Khewat, Khatauni, or Khasra number, view it on screen, and print it for your records. This step-by-step guide walks you through the whole process exactly as it appears on the portal, and explains what to do when the search does not work the first time.
If you are new to land records, read our main guide first: Jamabandi: Check Jamabandi Nakal Online, Meaning, Fard, Khatauni & State-Wise Land Records Guide 2026. For the Haryana portal in brief, see our Jamabandi Haryana page.
What you need before you open jamabandi.nic.in
Before you start, collect these details. You do not need all of them — one search method is enough — but having two makes the job easier:
- The district, tehsil, and village where the land is located.
- The owner’s name, as recorded in the Jamabandi.
- Either the Khewat number, the Khatauni number, or the Khasra number of the field.
- A copy of an old Jamabandi Nakal, a sale deed, or a Fard, if you have one — the numbers are written on those documents.
If you know none of the numbers, call or visit the patwari of the village and ask for the Khewat number of the land. The patwari keeps the village record and can give you the number from the owner’s name.
Step-by-step: check Jamabandi Nakal online in Haryana
Step 1: Open the official Haryana portal
Type jamabandi.nic.in into your browser’s address bar to check Jamabandi Haryana. This is the official portal for Haryana land records. Do not use a search result that leads to a private website asking for a fee — the official portal shows the record free of charge.
Step 2: Choose how to view the Jamabandi
On the home page, look for the option to view the Jamabandi or the Jamabandi Nakal. The wording changes from time to time, but it is usually “View Jamabandi”, “Jamabandi Nakal”, or a similar link under the land records section. Click it to reach the search page.
Step 3: Select district, tehsil, and village
The search page asks you to choose, in order: the district, the tehsil or sub-tehsil, and the village. Use the drop-down lists rather than typing, so that you choose the exact spelling used in the record. If your village has more than one Hadbast number, the portal may ask you to choose the right one — if you are unsure, check an old Jamabandi Nakal for the number.
Step 4: Pick a search method
The portal offers four ways to find a record. Use the one for which you have the most reliable information:
| Search method | What you need | When it works best |
|---|---|---|
| By owner name | The owner’s name | When you do not know any number |
| By Khewat number | The Khewat number | When you know the Khewat or have an old Nakal |
| By Khatauni number | The Khatauni number | When you know who cultivates the land |
| By Khasra number | The Khasra number of the field | Most reliable — it does not depend on spelling |
Step 5: Enter the details and search
Enter the detail for the method you chose. For an owner search, type the name without using a title or initials, and try the spelling that is used in the village — for example, the name may be recorded with a different spelling in Hindi than in English. For a Khewat, Khatauni, or Khasra search, type only the number. Then click the search or “View” button.
Step 6: Choose the right record from the results
If several results appear — for example, several people with the same name — open each one in turn and check the father’s name, the village, and the Khasra numbers until you find the correct holding. Clicking the wrong result is the most common cause of confusion, so take a moment to compare the details before you read the record.
Step 7: Read the Jamabandi Nakal on the screen
The Jamabandi Haryana Nakal opens as a table. Read it row by row: the owner names and shares, the Khewat and Khatauni numbers, the Khasra numbers, the area in kanals and marlas, the type of land, and the name of the cultivator. The area is given per Khasra, and a single Khewat may run over several rows. Add up the areas only for the Khasra numbers that belong to the owner you are checking.
Step 8: Save or print the Nakal
Use the portal’s print button, or your browser’s print option, to save the Nakal as a PDF or print it. Keep this copy for your own reference, and keep a note of the date on which you checked it. The printout is for information: for legal use, such as a court case or a bank loan, a certified copy from the tehsil office may be required.
How to read the Jamabandi Haryana Nakal
Three columns cause the most confusion. The Khewat column groups the owners who hold land together. The Khatauni column shows the account of the cultivator — the person who actually farms the land, who may be different from the owner. The Khasra column gives the number of each field, and the area next to it is the area of that field alone. If you add the areas of all the rows in a Khewat together, you get the total area of the Khewat, not the area of one owner, so use the share column to work out what a particular owner holds.
If the portal does not show your record
- Check the village and tehsil: Some villages have similar names in the same district. Go back and select the village again from the list.
- Try a different search method: An owner-name search fails most often because of spelling. A Khasra search almost always works if the number is right.
- Check whether the latest Jamabandi has been prepared: The portal shows the latest Jamabandi for the village. If your land was bought after that Jamabandi was prepared, the seller’s name may still appear until the mutation is entered and a new Jamabandi is made. In that case, check the mutation (intkal) record at the tehsil office.
- Try again later: The portal is sometimes slow or under maintenance, especially during the day. An early-morning check often works better.
Is checking Jamabandi Haryana free?
Yes. Viewing the Jamabandi Nakal on jamabandi.nic.in is free. You do not need to create an account, and you do not need to pay. A certified copy from the tehsil office may carry a small government fee. Be careful of agents who charge a fee to show you a record that is free on the official portal, and never pay anyone who promises to change a Jamabandi entry.
Frequently asked questions
What is the official website to check Jamabandi in Haryana?
The official portal is jamabandi.nic.in. Always use that address or a link from the Haryana government website.
Can I check Jamabandi Haryana by owner name?
Yes, the portal allows a search by owner name, but the result depends on the spelling of the name in the record. Searching by Khasra or Khewat number is more reliable.
What details do I need to check Jamabandi Nakal online?
You need the district, tehsil, and village, plus one of these: the owner’s name, the Khewat number, the Khatauni number, or the Khasra number of the field.
Why does the online Jamabandi show the old owner’s name?
The Jamabandi is prepared every few years. If the land was sold after the last Jamabandi was prepared, the old owner’s name remains until the mutation is entered and a new Jamabandi is made.
Is a printout from jamabandi.nic.in an official document?
The record shown on the portal is the official record, but a printout is for information. For legal use, obtain a certified copy from the tehsil office.
